Annual Fund

It’s that special time of year again when the SAA Board announces its Annual Fund Campaign. Only through your gifts to the Annual Fund is the SAA able to support its scholarship program and other services and projects. This year’s theme is “Following in their Footsteps.”

The Board is proud to introduce a special gift available to this year’s donors at the $75 level or beyond: Celebrating Excellence II, a beautiful collection of performances by former Suzuki students. The performers have donated their recordings to make this special gift possible and to honor the Suzuki Method which helped start them on their path as accomplished musicians.

New Teacher Trainers

These Trainer Candidates completed the final steps in the approval process following the ISA Teacher Trainer Conference in Boston last month. We look forward to their service in this new and important capacity.
